The national chart of Germany 2008 - 2024

In the horoscope of the united Germany, Pluto, as it moves through Capricorn,
is likely to express its cleansing and transformative qualities through
many challenges to the nation's definition of itself.

The birth chart
of the new Germany occurred under the disruptive and innovative energy
of the great cyclical conjunction of Uranus and Neptune in 1990, and
this birth was therefore bound to be both difficult and full of immense
creative potential. In some ways this period, while Pluto moves across
the great conjunction in the natal chart and squares the national Sun,
reflects a grounding of the dreams on which the new nation was built.
That inevitably involves a weeding out of those dreams which have proven
to be unworkable as well as a strengthening of those dreams which have
a solid and realistic core. There may need to be changes in both government
structures and in the ways in which the government deals with the people;
there may also be profound shifts in the attitude toward work, health
care, and other spheres where ongoing conflicts and difficulties have
continued to erupt since the re-unification.

This is a challenging,
disturbing, and potentially enormously positive and creative time.
But it is not
likely to be an easy one. Pluto tends to throw light on all those
spheres where mistakes have been made and then hidden, and where the
need for
honesty and transparency have been superseded by the need of authorities
to maintain their position. Neptune moving through Pisces during
this time highlights the nation's Moon, emphasising the people's need
to
find a greater spiritual or philosophical meaning in their lives and
in the
policies of the nation. This could prove immensely helpful in terms
of the new directions taken by the government.

Whether or not you favour
these changes personally, it would seem that a time has arrived
when ongoing conflicts emerging out of the idealism and emotionality
of
the
time of re-unification can be faced and worked through, and when
a greater sense of inner unity can reflect the political unity on which
so many
hopes were built.
